* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: In contrast to the novel, where Ishigami lives a far more isolated life and is openly direspected in class by his students, the film's Naren, while still a loner, is well-liked and respected by the local community, and is on friendly terms with his students.
** Unlike her novel counterpart [[spoiler: Tara doesn't attempt suicide due to guilt over Naren's arrest, and therefore Maya doesn't surrender to the authorities. Maya also never discovers that Naren killed a homeless man to create her alibi.]]

* AdaptationalKarma: [[spoiler: Inverted. In the novel, Yukawa successfully deduces the truth and realizes that Yasuko was Togashi's actual murderer, and that Ishigami killed a homeless man to manufacture an alibi for her. Yasuko confesses to the authorities once Yukawa tells her the full extent of what Ishigami did for her, and because her daughter attempted suicide due to the guilt. In the film however, Karan never deduces the truth, and so Maya and her daughter are free to carry on with their lives after Naren's sacrifice.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Ajit Mhatre is even ''more'' of an AssholeVictim than the novel's Shinji Togashi. While Togashi was a car salesman who stole money from his employer and was then fired, Ajit is a DirtyCop actively involved in a number of criminal activities, and who is wanted by his colleagues before his death. Togashi met Yasuko when she was already a nightclub hostess, while Ajit ''sold'' Maya into service as a pole-dancer after their marriage. And while Togashi's nefarious designs on his former step-daughter Misato are disgusting enough, Ajit's desire to exploit his ''biological'' daughter Tara takes his vileness to a whole different level.

* CriminallyAttractive: Investigating officer Karan is attracted to his 'hot suspect' Maya, and even takes her on a date to a karaoke bar. A downplayed example though, since Karan never really lets his attraction to Maya cloud his judgement, and the karaoke bar date was at least partially motivated by a desire to check her alibi.

* HappilyEverBefore: [[spoiler: The film ends with Naren's plan to take the fall for Ajit's murder succeeding, and him being arrested and imprisoned while Maya is cleared of all suspicion. We never get to see Karan discover the truth behind the murder, and Maya's involvement, the way Professor Yukawa discovered the truth in the novel and shared it with Yasuko, leading to her making a confession out of guilt. Consequently, Maya and her daughter have a far happier ending compared to their novel counterparts.]]

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Misato was Yasuko's daughter from an earlier marriage, and thus only Togashi's former step-daughter in the novel. In this film however, Tara is Ajit's biological daughter, albeit one he had never met before due to Maya fleeing from him while pregnant.
